Weeds ropes in viewers with lesbian kiss

Weeds must be desperate for viewers: first the drama lured viewers with nude pics of leading lady Mary-Louise Parker, and now it turns out there's a girl-on-girl kiss in its upcoming seventh season.

Weeds must be desperate for viewers: first the drama lured viewers with nude pics of leading lady Mary-Louise Parker, and now it turns out there's a girl-on-girl kiss in its upcoming seventh season.

AfterEllen reports that in the season seven premiere — slated to air in the States on June 27 — Nancy Botwin (Parker) is in prison getting on very well with her Russian cellmate Zoya (Olga Sosnovska).

After Nancy starts freaking out about her impending release from jail, which will expose her to drug barons who want her dead, Zoya comforts her with a kiss.

A couple of months ago, US network Showtime spruiked the new season of Weeds by unveiling pics of Mary-Louise wearing hardly any clothes — which is, like, the billionth time she's stripped off to promote the show.
